  1. Human Teeth VS. Animal Teeth 1st Grade Student PowerPoint By: Allison LeCoq - EDT 610

  2. Animal Teeth • What do we know about them? • They can be sharp and pointy • They help with eating and catching prey • Animals don’t have to go to the dentist like people do

  3. Animal Teeth • What do we want to knowabout them? • Do they fall out like ours do? • How do they take care of them? • Do all animals have the same teeth? • Which animal has the biggest teeth? • How are they like our teeth?

  4. Human Teeth • What do we know about them? • They need to be brushed and flossed everyday • They help with eating and chewing • They fall out and grow back in

  5. Human Teeth • What do we want to know about them? • How many are there? • Why are they shaped differently? • Why do they fall out?

  6. Do animal teeth fall out? • YES! • Some animals like cats and dogs have 2 sets of teeth. The baby teeth fall out and are replaced by the adult teeth • Other animals, like elephants, have several sets of teeth that fall out all the time!

  7. Did You Know? • Sharks can lose their teeth every two weeks to replace worn or broken ones? • Beavers, guinea pigs and rabbits have front teeth (incisors) that never stop growing? • Alligators have a total of 80 teeth that fall out and grow back in all the time!

  8. How do animals take care of their teeth? • Pets can have their teeth cleaned at the veterinarian’s office • Crocodiles wash their teeth in the water and then sterilize them in the sunlight • By eating their prey and then chewing on the bones, animals like wolves help keep their teeth clean

  9. How do animals take care of their teeth? • Rabbits, horses and elephants chew grasses, leaves and plants to clean their teeth • Animals at the zoo have their teeth cleaned by a veterinarian • Animals hardly ever get cavities even though they never go to the dentist!

  10. Do all animals have the same teeth? • No! • It depends on the animal and what they eat. • Plant eaters have more flat teeth called molars to chew and grind with • Meat eaters have sharper teeth called canines to catch prey and tear their food with

  11. What We learned: • Mammals are heterodonts • This means that some of our teeth are shaped different • Fish and reptile teeth are all shaped the same, but they come in different sizes

  12. Mammal Teeth

  13. Reptile/Fish Teeth

  14. Which animal has the biggest teeth? The elephant does!!! • Their tusks are really long teeth called incisors • Can grow to 10 feet long • Can weigh Up to 200 pounds

  15. So how many teeth do humans have? • We have 2 sets • 20 baby teeth • 32 adult teeth • Why do they fall out? • Just like some animals, we are born with two sets of teeth • The baby teeth fall out so the adult teeth can grow in

  16. Our 3 types of teeth: • Incisors • Front teeth 2. Canines • Pointy teeth • Molars • Back teeth *They are all shaped differently to help us eat and digest food

  17. How are animal teeth like human teeth? • We both use them to eat food • We both have to clean them, just in different ways • Animal teeth have different shapes like human teeth do • We both lose our teeth • We both use our teeth to show emotions (angry, happy)

  18. How are animal teeth different from human teeth? • Reptile and fish teeth are all shaped the same – ours are different shapes • We don’t use our teeth to kill prey like meat eaters do • Some animals have several sets of teeth (sharks, elephants), while we only have two

  19. The END
